ISRO chief says India has capability to develop research base in space
Needs long-term approach but ISRO ready if plan is okayed, he says
ISRO won international praise by launching 104 satellites on one rocket
"We have all the capabilities to set up a space station. The day the country takes the decision, we will 'okay' the project. Just draw a policy and provide us necessary funds and time," Mr Kumar said.
He was in Indore to attend the foundation day ceremony of Raja Ramanna Center for Advanced Technology (RRCAT).

ISRO launched 104 satellites on a single rocket last week.
Mr Kumar said ISRO was also mulling tying up with the industry to enhance the country's satellite launching capability.
Many more satellites were needed to keep a tab on the land and weather conditions and to enhance the communication network, he said.
This would be possible with increase in the number of satellite launches, for which the country needed to enhance the basic infrastructure and reduce the cost of equipment, he added.
The number of companies manufacturing small satellites has gone up across the world, but these companies could not launch them, therefore this area had immense commercial potential and India could tap it by enhancing the launch facilities, the ISRO chief said.
